Troubleshooting 21 Different 3D Printing Problems

There are a lot of problems you can run into when you're running one of the largest 3D printer farms in the world. Today, we're covering 21 different 3D printing problems that we have ran into and what we did to fix them.

May I suggest you add B-Roll Footage of the defects you’re talking about so we can see them up close? It’ll really help me remember them visually

I was struggling to see the Z wobble in the ironman helmet until the light happened to catch it just right at 13:18 perhaps for videos like this, some B-roll with photos that clearly show each individual problem would be a great addition to insert as you're discussing the cause for the problem. Thanks for a great and very informative video.

ah this would be great for some close ups and also better video resolution

Love this! I often get models with a questionable/warped base, or maybe something is protruding so it won't sit flat. My solution is to SINK the model 0.1-0.2mm into the bed. Often not noticeable (on fun prints) and makes a whole host of problems go away.

Excellent video. I picked up a couple of tips. Thanks!!

I'm new at 3d printing, so still learning, that said I have a MizarS (which I hate), I also use Cura. That said a few issues I have not seemed to fix and since I'm making several Christmas presents me getting settings right is important. I notice the top is not smooth like the sides, its messy really. I've been trying to perfect the rose I'm printing for like a week now, where the rose buds meet and of course a new section is made, some areas stick out, I'm also noticing a lot of sticking out ridges at those sections too. Best way to describe this, its like a puppy grabbed it and chewed for just a few seconds, those indentions the teeth make. Lastly the stringy filament all over the place, its so much the last rose I let print all night looks like a spider made a web inside the individual rose bubs. I'm wasting filament consistently printing. I can't attach pictures here, but I can take them and email them if you really need a visual

I didn’t see the problem I’m having. My prints are great except for a 1mm(more or less) wide vertical raised squiggle, sort of like a scar from a cut that didn’t heal properly. I printed the sample rabbit and boat, whose files came with the Ender 3 V2 Neo I just set up. Any ideas? I would really appreciate any help.

My grandson is getting 7170 error on his 3D printer while trying to print a miniature duck from Cura. Thoughts? Hard to find help for the novice.

I'm having a problem in my 3d printer that even if ti is everything well leveled, when i print anything, it seems like the layers are ''slipping'' or the printer skips some layers, i'm already desperate because I've never seen anyone talking about this

You run hundreds of thousands of 3D printers all the time?
